only virtually [In reply to] Can't Post

that is, you have to exert self control.

When things got at their worst for me, I actually made a list of people on a post-it that sat on my screen. I was very firm with myself. I would do my best not to read any posts by them (I use threaded view so I can choose what posts I read) nor any thread started by them. And I would not, under any circumstances, respond to them.

I might get off the computer and rant to my husband (oh, he *loved* that strategy - insert rolled eyes emoticon). But I would NOT respond.

After a week or two, it got easier. And my emotional health improved. :-)

I love the ignore button at imdb and I love it even more because I know that some people are still sputtering and spitting at stuff I post and all I see as a response is:
[Post ignored]
by [ignored]
This message has been hidden because the poster is in your ignore list
They're all agitated and I'm calm as bluebird.

But, we don't have a real ignore button here so I make do with my virtual ignore button. And when that just won't work... I take a break.
